A dream is arising!

fitzcarraldo · 01-31-11, 09:35 PM

I like the idea of a new subsim....s-u-b-s-i-m, not a game. A German U-boat simulator, with AI crew (no droids), realistic environment (rain, snow, winds, thermal layers, currents...). A realistic maneuvering of the boat: independent engines, complete instrumental, failures, sabotage...

For the crew I like the AI of the type of the Close Combat series: realistic fatigue, moral (do you see Johann the Phantom in "Das Boot"? That fear, anxiety, desperation...). Also I like a crew making a moutiny...I like great comunications (a radio totally operative, for send messages and obtain responses), and a dynamic storyline for the captain (I think in the "campaign" of F1 2010, with interactive carachters, for example, Doenitz and AH for some insults....).

Good...A dream. It´s a great and hard work; all the luck in the adventure, Hans!

Best regards.

Hi Fitzcarraldo

Great list you have there it is very close to my own wish list.

For Admiral Doenitz your dream is already come true see pic

It is not the final version but you can see it on the campaign loading screen in my mod it me shaking hand with the chief!

Best regards Hans

Another screen of me in conning tower this one was suppose to be the mission menu loading but i remove it from the mod because i though that folks would be fed up seeing me everywhere in the menu

I never should have put this pic up now Buker is going to paint me a santa beard again lol

Hi again shipmates,

I was analyzing this thread and i came to the conclusion that if nobody want to attempt this then we will never see it because no developers will never be able to put all the details and behavior we are all craving for.

Simply put that a sub simulator like we all dream off would cost way too much in term of time and since subsimers like us are a very small market they would never make enough profit to cover the expense.

So my opinion is that our only hope is to at least try to make it!

Again i am not underestimated the task at hand but at least i am trying to start something, i know a lot of folks must be laughing out loud seeing me typing those lines.

But having a 3d senior artist plus a senior programmer in C++ should be a better start then a bunch of teenagers unorganized.

My dream team would be as follow :

Myself as lead designer
My buddy lead programmer
2 more 3d artists one senior and a junior
1 shader programmer
1 music composer
1 web designer

Just some toughs

Best regards Hans

Howdy Hans i say if u want to make it then do it, i agree with reece in that out of all the sh games i think sh3 is still the better sim unfortunatly most of us including me would like the game to have better graphics (thats why i am excited about your mega mod) although good graphics dont make a good game, my advice to u if you intend on making a good sub game is to make sure it is a sim first and put graphics second.

Hi megadan,

Thank for encouraging me but if we ever decided to go for it graphic and simulation will be done in the best possible way technology allow, my programmer buddy is fast and very efficient at complex math but he can only draw stick figure

My self i am not good in coding at all except some java scripting but i can draw anything in 3d and animated them

Best regards Hans

I agree totally

Let us dream of SH3 (GWX, LSH£m WAC modded) with superior graphics

Then Hans you'll have your (our) dream to become reality
